'tShe," as seen at Niblo's, will be transferred in
Its entirety next week to Boston, where 1t will re-
main for a month. The business during the pres
ent week continues to be extremely satisfactory.
Manager Gilmore says that 1t is the best, for the
week before Christmas. that Niblos has known for
a long while.
The present management OF the Standard Theatre
are not taking any risks of slips " during the
first representation Of Paul Kauvar " tomorrow
night. The company not only rehearse during the
day, but are now giving performances each even-
Ing to wear of those rough edges which irritate o
frst-night audience. The posters which announce
the production Of "Paul Kauvar, or Anarchy"
are glaringly red.
The present Casino Company in its entirety will
soon leave for Chicago, where it will present
"The Marquis. The "Erminie " Company 10
coming back to the Casino. 1t Is hard work for
even the Casino to secure an attraction that comes
anywhere near "Erminie ~ IN popularity. Ru-
dolph Aronson Is now on the ocean with the inten-
ton Of searching Europe with this end in view.
Prof. Hermann's scheme to possess a Broadway
theatre seems to have vanished as II by the magic
efforts of which he is 30 fond. Instead OF coming
to New York, the prestidigitateur will make a long
tour through the small towns of Colorado, Nevada
and California. He will be managed, as usual, by
that energetic gentleman known as =" Mike I"
Leavitt, whose favorite pursuit seems to be the
writing of paragraphs about the increase Of his
legal and theatrical affairs.
The play that will succeed ''Elaine" at the Mad
ison Square Theatre Is "Heart OF Hearts,, " by
Jones, the author of ''Salnts and Sinners. The
NAV In now hainp rahaaraed nv Charlaa @ oOhlan.
Mrs. Booth will have no part in 1t, the female roles
being assigned TO Miss Annie Russell, Miss Maud
Harrison, Mrs. Phillips and q young woman, for
merly with Gardner's "Only a Farmers Daugh-
ter I" Company, who will make her first appearance
at the Madison Square Theatre.
The professional actors who are to 80 assist " the
students Of the New York School OF Acting in the
special matinee which Will be given at the Lyceum
Theatre this afternoon do not seem to be happy.
Said one Of them: a. am considerably cut up
abont a mutilation OF "A Winters Tale , by the
directors of the play, Mr.. Belasco and Mr.. Sar-
gent, by which the professional gentleman who
have by request volunteered their services are
made to appear to great disadvantage. 1t is rather
an injustice to u.s. The matinee promises to be
very interesting. Besides Act ~. Of "A Win
ters Tale" Mrs. G. A. DoremuIsl adaptation Of
Moliere's "Les Precleuses Ridicules" win be
given.
The negotiations between Henry E. Abbey and
Mrs. James Brown Potter, when they were nrst
begun, simply contemplated a humble of special
mRtinGes, which were TO be given at Wallack's
Theatre. 1t Is said that the idea OF these extra
matinGes was entertained by Mr.. Abbey with the
view Of keeping Mr.. Bellew busy, as that saccha-
rine young man will be thrown on Mr.. Abbey's
hands on April /, when Mrs. Potter's engagement
with Mr.. Miner terminates. 1t In now probable
that Mrs. Potter will be with Mr.. Abbey through
out the next season. The lady lhas q new play,
which was written for her by Sims, whose ''Nostler
Joe " she brought into prominence. Mr.. Miner was
anxious for her TO produce this play white under
his management, but up TO the present Mrs. Pot
ter has declined to do this. 1t is thought that q
strong play will revive the dropping interest In
Mrs. Potter and give her q chance to do wen with
her second season.
